CE-Oh no he didn’t! Part LVII: Howard Stringer says the Wii is not ‘a competitor’

Further confirming his utter disconnect from reality, Sony head Howard Stringer referred to Nintendo’s market-dominating Wii as an “expensive niche game device.” Previous to making that statement, Stringer bafflingly said, “I’ve played a Nintendo Wii, I don’t see it as a competitor.” Now look — we’re not saying you’re in some kind of CEO super-denial, but all signs point to the possibility that you should probably consider the Wii a competitor (since it is… well… a competing system and platform), and perhaps recognize that “niche” is typically not synonymous with “best selling.” Of course, you’re the guy running Sony, we’re just watching the crackup from the sidelines.
